Seared Ahi Tuna Steaks

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 2 minutes

Total Time: 7 minutes

Servings: 2

Ingredients:

2 (5 oz.) ahi tuna steaks

1 tsp. kosher salt

¼ tsp. cayenne pepper

½ tbsp. butter

2 tbsp. olive oil

1 tsp. whole peppercorns

Directions:

Dry off tuna steaks with paper towels and sprinkle salt and cayenne pepper on both sides.

In a cast iron skillet set over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppercorns soften and pop.

Place the seasoned tuna gently in the skillet and cook for 1 1/2 minutes per side, depending on how you like your fish.

To serve, cut the tuna into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
